    • Well yeah, everyone is absolutely correct that it is a good show and a great drama. But any character who had morals always ended up being a short lived character. I wouldn't be surprise if something did happen to Michael Chiklis at the end. ixnayray said:

      I see where you're coming from but it makes for great drama not to mention a pretty tense plot that stretches throughout the whole seven seasons. I think it's great that they chose to examine police corruption. It's a real shame though... BECAUSE THEY ALL DIE AT THE END!!!!!

      HA HA, just fuckin' with ya' Ron... I still have the last series to watch yet.

      I'm yet to see The Wire... but I bought them all on DVD and i'm just waiting for the right moment as i'm sure i'm gonna be completely hooked. It's all I hear people talking about. Can't wait.

Criminals posing as cops even if they originally joined the force with the best of intentions. I can see having mental breakdowns and proposing to yourself "should I step over the line this one time and will anyone notice?" but to actually cross the line and hope to get away with something just reeks of cowardness. Whatever you want to answer though, don't give away the ending. I didn't have cable at the time the series came to a close and they cancelled re-runs in the area I live so I'm going to have to rent it, so yeah, I did watch it. Just had a problem with it as well.

    • RENO has still not made it to UK TV yet... But I did see the movie and to be honest with you, NOT GOOD.

    • There´s a few occasions when i really tune in and turn blue when i find good junkyard trash television quality among all the taking themselves too friggin seriously mainstream shit. At eighties i loved SLEDGEHAMMER. Then came SON OF BEACH, the SIMPSONS, and more recently SOUTH PARK. Even nowadays i can watch and enjoy series like OFFICE u.k., GREEN WING, SPACED, and even MY NAME IS EARL(although it became very soon unwatchable because of Earls moron brother who is simply awful with his wet lip philosophy and pussyfaced sentimentality.) then of course last but not least Canadian prime time leftover goodies The TRAILER PARK BOYS.

      But none of the above has given me such a blast for its money than the RENO 911! cop reality show back from 2003 if not mistaken. For some reason it took seven years to reach these regions up north.

      The episodes hung between two thoughts:first  i cant belive this shit im watching, but soon it turn out to be a laugh riot you never expected or may never experienced.  The show look like total jerk of  an script wise, acting is beyond even for John Waters standards of cool. Watching it for shock value´s worth anytime, discovering a whole new ways to explore comedy, humiliation, cop humour and (self ) embarassiment, then after few episodes you need more and you fell in love with each caracter.

      You become addicted.

    • amazing. I havent seen the drew barrymore thing. I have a feeling it would annoy me.

    • I saw WIZARDS when I was a kid... it really freaked me out. I'd never seen anything like it before [or since].

    • I've never seen or heard of Wizards but I have seen his version of Lord of the Rings, and yeah it is cool when he uses real footage like the backgrounds and real people but somehow makes them look like animated cartoons. I also liked Heavy Metal. Is there any footage of Wizards on youtube so anyone can check it out?

    • Ralph Bakshis animated tale of Magic versus Technology. I had a rad mother who introduced me to this movie when I was 13-14 or so. The story is excellent and while the animation isnt great, it is cool when Bakshi used real footage and animated it. I can watch this movie over and over again. Bakshi also did Fritz the cat and the Lord of the rings animated movies.

    • Good choice. I had to watch it in a film class I took, and pretty much hated it. kopper said:

      OK, I remembered what the other one was that I couldn't sit through... Moulin Rouge (not the original, the 2001 remake with Ewan McGregor). Blech!

    • Choices, which features Demi Moore, and Gummo.

      One of the worst movies I've seen recently has to be this Japanese zombie flic called "Stacy." I looks like it was filmed with the cameras they use to film soap operas, and (like a lot of Japanese films) made no sense at all, but was extremely gory. I'll try to summarize as best I can. It's basically a strange time when girls all over the word enter a state of extreme happiness when they reach the age of about 15-18. After this state, they die and become zombies and exhibit something called, and I quote "butterfly twinkle powder" ...yeah, don't ask... it's just all kinds of fucked up, yet I gave it 3 stars on Netflix for some reason.

      I think it's good to watch bad movies sometimes just so you can say, and really feel like "I could write a better movie than this crap!"

      Here's the trailer just in case you want to see it:

    • I've never seen the remakes, but the original is great!

    • Being the lame-o that I am, I've only seen footage of the 1919 version in documentaries but it's always been on my list of must sees before I die. And unfortunatly, I wasn't aware that there were other versions.

    • June 30, 2010 1:16 PM CDT
    • I've only seen the original... So I can't really pick a favourite. I'm sure the 60's version is pretty cool, I just added it to my Lovefilm [the UK's "Netflix"] list. I'd like to check out the 2005 version just for curiousity value though.

    • June 30, 2010 1:05 PM CDT
    • I wonder if that 2005 version is the one I wrote dvd box copy for at my old job. If so, I hated it. Definitely the original. it helped create a whole genre of film.

    • There are three versions of this classic horror film... the original silent German expressionist film from 1919, the 1962 remake, and more recently, 2005's remake by David Lee Fisher that used digitally restored backgrounds from the 1919 classic. Which is your favorite?

    • I like Kümmel, but it is very hard to find, the only store I know that had it stopped stocking it.
